D(2022·浙江温州期中)
The first traffic signals (信号灯) were used for trains. The signals were put alongside the railway tracks (铁路轨道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned people of danger. The red light was also the easiest color to see from far away. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take care" and a white light meant "go".
However, there were many dangerous accidents on the railway tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go". Then the signals were swapped. The"go" light was changed to green and the "take care" light was changed to white.
At that time, people travelled by train or by coach. Years later, when cars were produced, people began to drive cars because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt when crossing the roads. Yellow warning signals had to be put on the side of the roads to warn drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.
Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic signals. Red and green lights match the signals used for trains. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers about that they should slow down and prepare to stop.
(　　)35.Why was the color red used to mean "stop"
A. It helped trains run well.
B. It warned people of traffic rules.
C. It gave people a warning of danger.
D. It was the first color people thought of.
(　　)36.What does the underlined word "swapped" in Paragraph 2 mean

A. The advantages of traffic signals.
B. The history of traffic signals.
C. The importance of traffic signals.
D. The meanings of traffic signals.

One possible version:
Students have many different ways to go to school. Which is the best
Some students like going to school on foot, because they think it's the most convenient way for them. However, when you are in a hurry, it may not be so fast as other ways. Riding the bike to school is also a good choice for many students. That's because it's faster than walking. However, sometimes it's not safe especially in heavy traffic. Taking the bus is the fastest way to go to school. But sometimes it's crowded in the morning.
I prefer to go to school on foot because my home is not far away from school. And walking is also a good way to keep healthy.
